Jun 12, 2020 at 13:57 comment added Pavel Just a note about the degree condition: If the coefficient of $m_k(x_1,\dotsc, x_k)$ at $x_{k+1}$ is non-zero, then the Morse indices satisfy $\mu(x_1) + \dotsb + \mu(x_k) - \mu(x_{k+1}) + k - 2 = 0$, which is the dimension-$0$-condition on the moduli space of Morse trees. Assuming that the Morse complex of $S^n$ is generated by one generator $S$ in degree $0$ and one generator $N$ in degree $n$, the only solution of this equation for $k\ge 3$ is for $k = n+2$ and $x_1 = \dots = x_k = S$, $x_{k+1}=N$. I would guess that this must be also zero for some geometric reasons.

Apr 2, 2019 at 16:16 comment added Daniel Pomerleano Typically one needs to choose more data (e.g. several Morse functions or some other perturbation data on Stasheff trees) to define these operations? Probably the answer to your question will depend on how you choose this data...
